A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show

[Pared]

They declined last year, not the last two years. And all console sales are up due to price drops and system refreshes.

Still doesn't change my point.

I am excited for this game, I really hope they've revamped the frachise mode though, its been untouched in a long time. One feature i'd like to be in the game is a pre/post game show where they talk about the game before it starts and talks about the pitching matchup and then after the game they talk about the hero of the game and even have interviews. That would be cool

Oh and they should talk about a trade tht might have happened before the game or during the game. Also, they should include highlights of games that happened during the postgame.

Not that the game is quite done yet but it is getting close. Some of us who player single player will NOT go back to last year's game because of many things like animations and ball physics and other problems. That really isn't an option for a lot of people unless they want something that is old and half-finished for cheap.

I think they have done a decent amount of work in franchise, at least to make it playable but I don't know. I guess people were expecting too much, I am one of them, with the Vita version coming as well. To me it should have been a different team doing it but what do you do. I think that game would have taken 6 months or so off the schedule for a good amount of the team and that is just scary imo.

There is no doubt in my mind Campbell is as big a problem as Rex is and even much greater to a degree as he talks more. It is definitely time to get the guy to try a different delivery or more than likely get somebody else in there.

It is not all his fault but he sounds the most robotic out of anybody. The good thing is by PS4 we should have this game all pretty and nice as long as their engine is up to par and can be ported somewhat.

I'm guessing that there still isn't gonna be a NBA 2k style trade finder in Franchise mode?

"This year, one of the early features we know about is Pulse Pitching, which is loosely based off of classic pitching. After selecting your pitch, and location, you then press X to start the pitch. A large X on the screen will appear and you must press X again at its smallest point. This is certainly a new and welcome take on pitching in this series."

Sounds to me to be a lot like the pitching in 2K6...

Pulse pitching is rhythmic, so it just oscillates in size from a larger circle to a smaller circle over and over, and you choose to time when you pitch it.

2K6, on the other hand, only shrinks once after slowly growing (when you're choosing how much effort you want to put on the pitch), and you have to time when it shrinks that one time. No continuous oscillation.

They're similar, but not identical.
